The Re-Giftables Giveaway

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

The Re-Giftables is a beautiful shop unlike any that you have seen before. The Re-Giftables is a great shop that upcycles items most people would throw away and turns them into beautiful pieces of wearable art. Elyse is the talented woman behind Re-Giftables and here is the story of Re-Giftables in her own words...

"After
hours of staring at my computer monitor for my day job as a graphic designer, my
eyes start to bug out and I have to step away. I suppose I could do laundry or
bake banana bread, but lately I have been fascinated with the possibilities of
upcycling. I lie awake at night dreaming up things to do with stuff that would
otherwise go into the trash.

This has been a lifetime obsession for me – I remember
making furniture for my dollhouse out of egg cartons and sewing tiny pillows out
of an old sock.

Recently I started
making notebooks out of used gift cards. That evolved into Jewelry. Who knows
what comes next? My craft table is covered in scraps of plastic waiting to be
reborn. I’d love your feedback and ideas for new items!"

Elyse is offering you all a chance to win a Re-Giftables' spider
necklace and earrings set (just in time for the Holiday season). Elyse likes to leave the backs untouched, as proof of
where the piece began. She has had so many people not believe her when she has told them that a necklace or other Re-Giftable piece used to be a gift card (would you?). Elyse has to keeps the backs undecorated so she can turn over the piece to prove it! Here is the beautiful spider set you could win...
